Before we even talk about power punching, you
have to learn some basic theories about how
power is generated from the body.

4. Next you’ll learn about how to position your
body so that all your power and body weight is
being channeled efficiently into your punches.
After this, you’ll learn the proper punching
technique in full detail to learn how to throw a
harder punch. Lastly, I’ll leave you with some
final tips on how to maximize the damage dealt
on the other boxer.

5. Basic theories you must understand
to punch hard:
• Speed is not Power – Power is acceleration times mass.
Power is not only speed, you must have a force (or a
weight) behind that speed. A fast punch will not hit
hard unless you put some body weight behind it.
• Move Your Body – Like Bruce Lee’s theory behind his
famous one-inch punch: moving your whole body one
inch hits much harder than moving your arm one foot.
You must move your entire body to get the maximum
force (weight) behind that punch. The trick is not to
focus on moving your body a great distance but rather
to move it all at the same time.

6. • Use Your Legs – The biggest muscles in your body will
generate the most power. People who punch only with
their arms will never punch with real power.
• Stay Inside Your Range – Your strongest punch doesn’t
land when your arms are fully out-stretched. Your
punch hits harder when it lands a bit shorter than your
full range of motion. Don’t reach!
• Use Angles – Punching from different angles will give
your punches more power, more punching
opportunities, and more damage on your opponent.

7. Flow Of Energy
FEET
• They are spread on the ground a little wider than
shoulder width.
• The back foot always starts with the heel lifted.
• When punching, the feet will pivot in the
direction of the punch.
• As you throw multiple punches, your feet will
pivot back and forth pushing in different
directions as you throw different punches.

8. LEGS
– Knees are always slightly bent.
– As you punch, you drop your bodyweight into
your legs bending the knees slightly.

9. UPPER BODY
– Your torso should rotate as much as possible and
spin the punch out from your shoulders.
– A full rotation with short arm extension hits
harder than a small rotation with full arm
extension.
– Don’t lean forward. Don’t try to reach forward,
rotate instead!

10. ARMS
• Your arms start relaxed.
• As the punch is thrown, your arms spring out
towards your opponent extending just enough to
hit your opponent.
• Don’t let your punches over-extend or else you’ll
get countered.
• Do not pull your fist back right before a punch.
This is called, “telegraphing” and allows
experienced fighters see the punch coming,
minimizing its impact.

11. HANDS
– Your hands are relaxed when you are not punching.
You can make a loose fist but don’t clench it.
– When you punch, that fist transforms into a brick as
your deliver it to your opponent.
– Your glove starts at your face and ends at your face.
– Your turn your fist over (horizontal) for straight
punches, but your fist can stay vertical when you
swing a left hook to the body or throwing pivot left
hooks.

12. Everything I just described is called the flow of
energy. You want to feel the energy traveling
through your entire body from the feet to the
fist. If one part of the body is lazy or feels
uninvolved, you need to train harder to make
that part of your body an active participant in
the punch.

13. Aiming
• Learn the distance of all your punches. Do it
again with a quick front foot step. Try to keep
your punches WITHIN this range.
• Punching too close or too far of a distance
diminishes your power.
• Jab

14. • Stepping forward quickly will make this punch
much stronger.
• Extend your fist all the way and lift that front
shoulder a little to really stab your opponent
with this jab punch.
• Don’t lean forward when you throw this
punch, save that momentum for your right
cross.

15. • Right Hook
– When you throw a right hook, swing your body
weight from your back foot to your front foot and
make sure you push your head into the punch and
look at where it’s hitting.
– Also, don’t throw your head to the side when you
throw the right hook, instead bring it forward but
try to keep it in front of your target. (This hits
harder but in some cases, you’ll have to move that
head more to stay out of harm’s way.)
